The pound depreciated against its major counterparts in the Asian session on Monday, as concerns over a no-deal Brexit intensified after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed a deadline of October 15 for a free trade deal with the European Union.
"If London and Brussels don't reach a deal by October, the UK will be ready to accept this and move on," Johnson said on Sunday.
The negotiations will resume in London on Tuesday. The talks have stalled because of deadlock over fishing rights and fair competition rules.
U.K. chief negotiator David Frost told the Mail on Sunday newspaper that Britain was "not going to compromise on the fundamentals of having control over our own laws."
The Financial Times reported that the UK government is set to announce a legislation that will undermine prospects of a trade deal.
The so-called internal market bill, expected to be published Wednesday, would "eliminate the legal force of parts of the withdrawal agreement" in issues relating to state aid and Northern Ireland customs union, the report added.
